Summary - Higher Welby, Boyton, LAUNCESTON PL15 8NS
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious four-bedroom home with half-acre gardens and substantial outbuildings.
Grade II Listed 17th-century detached cottage with extensive character
A rare Grade II listed 17th-century cottage set at the end of a quiet lane, Higher Welby combines period character with generous, flexible living space. Four good bedrooms include a vaulted master with dressing room and en-suite; ground floor reception rooms, a large garden room and modern kitchen provide comfortable day-to-day living while retaining original beams, stonework and inglenook features.
Gardens amounting to about 0.5 acre are a major asset — established, well-planted and arranged with multiple seating areas, gravel paths and specimen trees. A large garage/workshop and separate outbuilding give substantial stored space and hobby potential; a previous planning consent (now lapsed) existed to replace the outbuilding with a three-bedroom dwelling, offering obvious development interest subject to listed-building constraints and new consent.
Practical comforts include updated electrics and a modern oil-fired boiler, plus ample parking and turning on the gravelled driveway. The house is chain free and tucked away in a peaceful rural setting with easy road links to Launceston and the north Cornish coast, making it suitable for families seeking space, gardens and countryside living.
Notable limitations are important to consider: listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate conversions or extensions; the former planning consent has lapsed and would need renewing for redevelopment. Heating is oil-fired (not mains gas) and the property is in a remote, rural locality with average mobile signal. Council tax is above average. Buyers should expect listed-property maintenance responsibilities and to satisfy heritage consents for any significant works.
